“I believe there is no one principle which predominates in human nature so much in every stage of life, from the cradle to the grave, in males and females, old and young, black and white, rich and poor, high and low, as this passion for superiority” (Qtd. in Moffat 150). This is referring to the fact that no one should be harmed or abused no matter what his or her race, age, or socioeconomic status. Everyone should be treated equally. If it happens to anyone, they should be punished. People are getting abused everyday and we will always need social workers to help solve and handle these situations.
